Title: Digital video processing method and apparatus thereof
Inventor: CHOI YANG LIM
IPC: H03M7/36
Filed: 2000-02-03
Granted: 2007-01-23
Abstract: A digital video processing method and an apparatus thereof are provided. The method for processing digital images received in the form of compressed video streams comprising the step of determining a region intensity histogram (RIH) based on information on motion compensation of inter frames. The RIH information is obtained based on the motion compensation values of inter frames, and the RIH information is a good indicator of motion information of a video scene. Also, since the RIH information is quite a good indicator of intensity of the video scene, video streams having similar intensities can be effectively searched by searching for similar video scenes based on the RIH information obtained by the digital video processing method.

Patent CA-2469935-C (CA)
Inventor: SLOANE ANDREW JOHN
IPC: G01N33/52
Filed: 2002-12-12
Granted: 2014-02-11
Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in a flow through assay process is disclosed.  The method is characterised by a "pre-incubation step" in which the sample which is to be analysed (typically for the presence of a particular protein), and a detection analyte (typically one or more antibodies bound to colloidal gold or a fluorescent tag) which is known to bind to the particular protein may bind together for a desired period of time. This pre-incubation step occurs before the mixture of sample and detection analyte come into contact with a capture analyte bound to a membrane. The provision of the pre-incubation step has the effect of both improving the sensitivity of the assay and reducing the volume of sample required for an assay. An apparatus for carrying out the method is disclosed defining a pre-incubation chamber for receiving the sample and detection analyte having a base defined by a membrane and a second membrane to which a capture analyte is bound. In one version the pre-incubation chamber is supported above the second membrane in one position but can be pushed into contact with the membrane carrying the capture analyte thus permitting fluid transfer from the incubation chamber through the capture membrane. In another version the membrane at the base of the incubation chamber is hydrophobic and its underside contacts the capture membrane and when a wetting agent is applied to the contents of the pre-incubation chamber fluid transfer occurs.

Title: Tailgating and reverse entry detection, alarm, recording and prevention using machine vision
Inventor: BRAMBLET JOHN WESTLEY
IPC: G07C9/02
Filed: 2003-04-08
Granted: 2011-09-27
Abstract: Unauthorized entry into controlled access areas using tailgating or reverse entry methods is detected using machine vision methods. Camera images of the controlled area are processed to identify and track objects in the controlled area. In a preferred embodiment, this processing includes 3D surface analysis to distinguish and classify objects in the field of view. Feature extraction, color analysis, and pattern recognition may also be used for identification and tracking of objects. Integration with security monitoring and control systems provides notification when a tailgating or reverse entry event has occurred. More reliable operation in practical circumstances is thus obtained, such as when multiple people are using an entrance or exit under variable light and shadow conditions. Electronic access control systems may further be combined with the machine vision methods of the invention to more effectively prevent tailgating or reverse entry.

Title: Expansion ring assembly with removable drive mechanism
Inventor: NEUHAUS RONALD W
IPC: F16L21/00
Filed: 2005-08-05
Granted: 2009-02-17
Abstract: An expansion ring assembly for sealing a gasket within an opening in the wall of a structure, the assembly including a drive mechanism having a pair of block members each having a threaded bore, and a bolt having oppositely threaded ends respectively threaded within the bores. The block members are removably engaged with respective ends of the expansion ring. An oversleeve is disposed in overlapping relationship with the expansion ring ends, and the expansion ring ends and the oversleeve include cooperating ratcheting structures. Rotation of the bolt of the drive mechanism in a first direction causes the block members to move outwardly along the bolt to expand the expansion ring and concurrently sequentially engage the ratcheting structures of the expansion ring ends and the oversleeve. Once the expansion ring is expanded to a desired extent, the bolt of the drive mechanism may be rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction to move the block members inwardly along the bolt and allow disengagement of the block members from the expansion ring ends and removal of the drive mechanism. The expansion ring ends are maintained in their expanded condition by the engagement of the ratcheting structures of the expansion ring ends and the oversleeve. In another embodiment, overlapping ends of the expansion ring have ratcheting structure therebetween, and are driven apart by the removable the drive mechanism, wherein the oversleeve member is eliminated.
